Changing the meaning of such a widely used command that way is just wrong.
Thanks for your opinion, Kevin. I realize this is a controversial change,
I would prefer such feedback sooner, when the change was discussed.
Feel free to propose a counter proposal for FESCo's consideration.
For details, see

I don't see what benefit this change brings to users.
Why can't python just mean Python 2 forever and python3 mean Python 3? And
people should just stop using unsuffixed Python anyway, or the exact same
issue will come back with Python 4 whenever it happens. So why would you
want to encourage such use?
